I have seen p/s pumps from new have 1mm of play from new and this is normal. make sure you isolate this noise before replacing anything.


qnother method to isolate this noise is to spray the belt with brake cleaner. if the noise goes away temporarily or get worse, its the belt.
a mechanic's stethoscope will help isolate a noisey pulley.
